Today I came to know one of my friends who had got through to a MS in US of A but the consulate decided to reject her visa not once but twice. Then one of my other friends who during 2 months of a amazing summer became so close to a person so that he wants to kiss her a farewell before he leaves the irish shores to India maybe to never reunite with someone he couldn't have.
Joke apart the problem being an Indian (Actually almost all asians) face is that we need a visa to go just about anywhere on this planet. Why when the so called developed world lectures us about lowering our tariff barriers and opening up our countries for more trade and their capitalists I wonder what stops them from doing the same ? Why the United States issues a limited number of visas for people willing to take up education or employment? Why do Europeans reject visa applications based on money being earned? Why? Its the foreign universities who come to our country canvassing for more students. When we secure the admissions and are full of hopes the Visa officer rises and rejects the visa. When a employer finds us meritorious for a job but again the visa officer strikes.
Why this hypocrisy in the developed world? Why are they scared of us that we can eat up their jobs? If they are so scared then they should make their population competent enough to beat us to a job and not keep us out because we are better than them? Frankly speaking I am never in favor of discrimination based on anything to do with caste, color or creed but frankly I find the human rights activists silent on the issue.
Open up the Boundaries ,erase the borders and you will find the huge armies being dismantled. Billions of dollars saved and can be diverted to poverty alleviation. When this planet was created without borders who are we, the mere mortals to create borders and deprive us of meeting others. One of my friend who is dying to go to Italy and one whose career hangs by a thin string of hope I pray for both of them that they get what they want and maybe the Politicians sitting in the high chairs take note and not crush such beautiful dreams.
